My long-winded response to Larry's comment this morning.
Thank you Larry, I looked up eyebuydirect.com, and Zennioptical.com that Thomas from Kentuckiana recommended and they both seem very similar in what they were offering, and since you've had good luck with eyebuydirect, it looks like buying some glasses through the mail is the easiest, quickest, and maybe the cheapest way to go.
It's hard to beat the VA's price since the examine and the glasses are free.... But everything they do takes a long time, a very long time.
Back in the good old days, that would be last year, I had to boondock at a New Mexico state Park for 28 days to breakeven on the annual camping pass. And since I traveled through New Mexico at least twice a year, sometimes even more, it was easy to amortize the cost of the annual pass since I would spend several months traveling back and forth through New Mexico. But since the New Mexico state parks raised the price of boondocking from free to $15 a night, and an increase of the normal four dollars a night electric fee to $10 a night, throw in another five dollars a night for water and you have a camping fee very similar to commercial campgrounds in New Mexico, remember New Mexico is kind of a poor State, except as a nonresident, on top of all that, I would have to buy a $600 annual camping pass just for the "benefit" of staying at a New Mexico state Park.
Hummmm, actually I'm not sure if the $600 annual payment intitles me to boondocking for free? Or do I pay the $600 and still pay $15 a night for boondocking? The New Mexico state Park website is unclear on this.
I guess this is the way it was destined to end up. Colorado State Parks got so expensive that I haven't camped there in years. I seldom camp at State Parks in Arizona anymore, they got too expensive, so I only go there on special occasions like a Super Bloom of flowers during the Spring. And now New Mexico State Parks have priced me out of using them.
But there's other places to boondock, and I only started using the New Mexico State Parks because they were such a bargain, before that I usually just went straight to Arizona from Colorado, so I guess this Spring when I head back to Colorado I'll do it from Arizona and not from New Mexico.

If you can see that white dot in the center of the picture, that's my truck and camper. I enjoy walking around and taking pictures early in the morning. Things look better as the sun rises or sets, especially when water is involved.
